Mere Sands Wood
There are three waymarked trails available to guide you to some of the Mere Sands Wood Reserves' features, all of which are suitable for most wheelchair users. The Blue Trail is a 1.25m (45 mins) circular route passed 4 hides, a viewing platform and a bird feeding station through birch woodland adjacent to a series for connected lakes. The Meadow Walk is a 1/4m (10 mins) circular route passed meadow edge, returning via a short strip of birchwood. The White Trail is a 1.5m (60mins) circular route, which takes you through birch, oak, beech, and pine woodlands passed one hide and a viewing platform. This trail is also suitable for most motorised wheelchairs. Those parts of the waymarked paths that are not public rights of way are closed on Christmas day only.
